Product Pricing & Description

We undertake to ensure that all reasonable care is taken when detailing prices and descriptions of website products and that they are accurate at the time when the appropriate information was entered on our system.

In order to meet your expectations we do our best to provide full details and photographs on our website, we provide wood and fabric samples and are always available for advice. Please do keep in mind that all our furniture is handmade from solid mahogany, a natural product, so there may be slight variances in grain, colour etc

Risk & Title

The Products will be at your risk from the time of delivery and when you have signed the Proof of Delivery. Ownership of the Products will only pass to you when we receive full payment of all sums due in respect of the Products, including delivery charges.

Delivery

We offer FREE DELIVERY to the majority of UK mainland addresses excludes Scottish Highlands and the Channel Islands. Customers are welcome to collect their furniture, this must be arranged in advance. However great care must be taken with your choice of couriers, particularly when moving mirrors. Furniture will be bagged and loosely packed but we ask customers to bring blankets for packing and ensure they will be secure in transit. Hidden mill cannot accept responsibility for any damages which occur in transit when customers arrange their own transport.

Hidden Mill endeavour to deliver all furniture within 4 to 6 weeks. We will wherever possible advise you of any anticipated additional delay when you place your order. Once your furniture order is ready for delivery, you will be contacted and given a delivery date. If you cannot be available for delivery, you can ask for it to be delayed until the next available date our team are in your area. Unfortunately, you cannot select a specific date. We appreciate that most people work during the week and it is sometimes difficult to arrange delivery dates and times that suit. Therefore we are happy for your friends or neighbours to accept delivery and then sign for the goods on your behalf. Just be sure to tell them to check the goods before signing. Please note that we will always aim to complete your order and deliver all items together in a single delivery. Part-shipments are also available upon request (at an additional cost).

Please check access for the furniture/items you are ordering, as it is entirely your responsibility to ascertain that access is possible. We do NOT assemble or install furniture on delivery. You MUST inform us of any access restrictions prior to delivery. It is the responsibility of the customer to check measurements to all access areas (stairs, doorways, etc.) and inform us of any access or parking restrictions and any circumstances which may prevent a successful delivery.

If our delivery personnel judge that an item may not fit into or through the designated access space or that they may incur physical injury or risk damage to the item or your property, then we reserve the right to leave the item in a safe and convenient alternative location. Health and Safety regulations and insurance dictates that out delivery team is not obliged to take furniture other than to your door.
It is your responsibility to check and ensure that you are entirely happy with your purchase, prior to signing the delivery note and before the delivery team leave your premises. Your signature on the delivery note constitutes acceptance of the items. Any damage or defect must be noted on the delivery paperwork when the goods are accepted. If we have to arrange a return collection at a later date this will result in an additional charge. Please note that no goods are to be returned without contacting us first (preferably via telephone) and then confirming this request in writing. We cannot be held responsible for information which has not been noted on this paperwork. Where a delivery date has been agreed but the customer is not present or unwilling to receive the delivery a charge will be applied for redelivery.

International Delivery

At this time unfortunately we are unable to ship overseas. However we do ship to your designated UK port of choice providing you organise the shipping transfer. We do not Pro pack for export but shipping companies are happy to arrange this for you. It is the responsibility of the customer to discuss this and arrange with the shipping company at the point of contact. If you order Products from our site for delivery outside the UK, they may be subject to import duties and taxes which are levied when the delivery reaches the specified destination. You will be responsible for payment of any such import duties and taxes. Please note that we have no control over these charges and cannot predict their amount. Please contact your local customs office for further information before placing your order. Please also note that you must comply with all applicable laws and regulations of the country for which the products are destined. We will not be liable for any breach by you of any such laws. We would require full details of your Shipper, name and contact number and will provide them with any information they may need prior to the goods being despatched from Hidden Mill premises.

Returns/Refunds

More often than not furniture has been finished to your bespoke specifications so goods are only refundable if damaged or faulty. Once an order has been confirmed and is in production it cannot be cancelled. In order to meet your expectations we do our best to provide full details and photographs on our website, provide samples and are always available for advice. All our furniture is made from solid mahogany and is hand carved so please allow for slight variations in wood colour, size, and carving detail. Industry standards allow size variations of up to 2cm (larger or smaller) with handmade items. We ask our customers to consider this when carrying out their measurements and/or considering whether to purchase an item. We will not refund furniture simply because it does not match, suit or fit or because it is found to be unsuitable to the position for which the customer envisaged. We ask all our customers to check their measurements and access points very carefully to avoid disappointment. Unfortunately, we are unable to refund the original delivery charge or the return postage unless the item(s) are faulty, in which case we will fully reimburse.

Miscellaneous

Products manufactured from wood must be treated with respect according to accepted practice. The Seller will review responsibility for problems with materials or workmanship only if:

The Products have not been subjected to extremes of temperature or unsuitable atmospheric conditions.

No attempt has been made to rectify, alter or dismantle the Products in any way.

Products have been subject to normal wear and tear.

Hidden Mill uses only the highest quality mahogany, sourced from sustainable and renewable forests. It is important to note that the colour of raw mahogany can vary according to a number of factors including age, storage and source. The colour of the original wood influences the shade of the polish achieved during the finishing process so a sample may differ slightly from the final product.

It is the responsibility of the Customer to ensure that all fabrics and trims (whether supplied by the Customer or the Supplier) adhere with any of the relevant safety regulations required for the Products intended use.
